Our first-ever environmental career fair was a wonderful success! @PDXParksandRec and our partners welcomed more than 200 youth, most of them ethnic minorities and/or from traditionally under-served communities. People aged 16-24 enjoyed networking with professionals in careers which help the environment. They were able to network and to learn more about how they can pursue a wide range of exciting careers! Thanks to our partners with the • Audubon Society of Portland – TALON Program • Outdoor School • Portland Parks & Recreation – Lifeguarding program • Portland Parks & Recreation – Nature Day Camp • Portland Parks & Recreation – GRUNT Program • Portland Parks & Recreation – Youth Conservation Crew (YCC) • Trackers NW • Zoo ZAP Program • OSU Extension Services • PCC’s FUTURE CONNECT Scholarship program!
